6-OPERATOR FM ENGINE
01 / SOUND DESCRIPTION
Turn words into
frequency modulation.
INTERPRETATION—
Instrument words choose a starting voice; describing words set measurable targets for brightness, attack, decay, release, tuning and movement.
03 / SHAPE THE SOUND0 = starting voice
01 / CLASSIC EDITOR
Every parameter,
as the panel names them.
The DX7's own list, in its own units and groups, with the panel's gestures: pick an operator, switch operators off to hear one layer, copy an envelope, and compare against the voice you started from. The small number on each row is the numbered button that parameter sits on in the DX7's edit mode. Nothing here is measured or searched — what you set is exactly what your synth gets.
Switching back to Interactive makes this edited voice the starting voice, with every slider at 0.
